好戏连连-llb

暗恋桃花源 http://www.huayifestival.com/secret_love.html
(表演工作坊与明华园戏剧团台湾)

llb:<暗恋桃花源>是从事华语戏剧必看的经典剧目.它是戏剧大师赖声川的代表作品,<遥远的星球一粒沙>也是赖声川的作品.这部剧比<遥>难度要高,但绝对值得一看,尤其是手法的运用很特别,希望大家能够尝试看比较有水准的作品,从中学习.

同一个舞台上，两个剧团因为错误而同时进行彩排。一边是时装剧《暗恋》，演的是人生已快到尽头的老先生对年轻时一段刻骨铭心爱情的回忆，另一边则是古装剧《桃花源》，演的是陶渊明《桃花源记》中促使那一位渔夫往上游去的原因 , 居然是因为老婆给他戴绿帽…
观众一下子看《桃花源》片段，一下子看《暗恋》片段，古装与时装、喜剧与悲剧、疯狂的笑声与宁静的泪水，在台上同时并置，时而各自表述，时而交错演绎，更也随时爆发出意想不到的戏剧效果。这是表演工作坊《暗恋桃花源》 1986年首演以来的第四度搬演，时隔20 年，此次赖声川导演把台湾歌仔戏明华园请来同台斗戏，带给观众耳目一新的感觉。

十年之痒 http://www.huayifestival.com/game_play.html
(海燕等人 新加坡)

llb:<再见白蛇传>是海燕等人的作品,他们的作品比较通俗易懂,这部戏我没看过,也没听说过,但林海燕能凭此夺得第一届"新加坡剧作家奖"应该是不错的作品吧.

一对结婚快满10周年的青年夫妻，忽然间对平淡的生活感觉不满足，想要来点刺激，居然想出双方可以在100天的限期内精神出轨，让彼此的生活增添激情，没有料到的是，“人性的脆弱让剧中人一步步、无法自拔地掉入自己设下的陷阱…”
简单通俗的语言、平凡生活中的小人物、独特视角的剧情演进，《十年之痒》一幕接一幕的总让人带着好奇的心态，不住的窥探，直到结局来到。
《十年之痒》是海燕等人艺术总监兼编剧林海燕数年前赢得第一届“新加坡剧作家奖” 的作品。应邀演出的将是本地观众熟悉的演员，包括 新传媒艺人沈炜竣、电台 DJ林有懿、剧场演员洪薇和“海燕等人”成员胡鑫权。

TITOUDAO(剃头刀) http://www.toyfactory.com.sg/html/titoudao/about_titoudao.html

(llb:曾经在六年前带学生看过华语版本的剃头刀,非常好看.现在变成英语版本及音乐剧,不知效果如何.但相信应该非常entertaining吧.票价贵,但有马会赞助60%,因此票价约$１４-$１８.)

Countless stories have been told about attemptingthe impossible.But this one soars higher.Petite kampong gal Oon Ah Chiam reaches stars by laddering on her perseverance and beliefs.As Singapore buildings tower higher, her dreams are silhouetted by cold concrete urbanisation.Partake in this rock & roll journey down memory lane, where tears, laughter and celebration of life await.

Titoudao is an English music drama about the life of a Hokkien street opera actress, Madam Oon Ah Chiam. During her early twenties, Madam Oon performed the role of this incorrigible but likeable character – Titoudao, to such perfection that the public fondly called her by this stage name. This is a play inspired by Madam Oon’s memories and experiences.

Set in the 1940s to the present day, Titoudao begins from her childhood in the poor rural area near Upper Bukit Timah Road. It traces her struggles against all odds to become a renowned wayang (Street Opera) star in Singapore and Malaysia. Through her painstaking story, we see the societal and economical changes in Singapore. It is a moving account of the struggles of a petite Chinese woman set against the progression of an ever developing island city. A heartwarming play that is poignant yet hilarious, it will make you burst into peals of laughter at one moment and weep the next. You will leave the theatre inspired by this extraordinary life experience of Madam Oon.

Heartbreakingly touching, indeed it is.~ 8 Days

The uninhibited fun and warmth of TITOUDAO is disarming; barriers melted away, creating a sharing field transcending age, language and culture.~ Kuo Pao Kun

I enjoyed the energy and sincerity of TITOUDAO. It was an engaging well-crafted tapestry of contrasts – of dialect and English, of life on and off-stage, of the past and the present – topped off by good ensemble work by the actors!~ Claire Wong, Actress and Lawyer

It was the world of my youth comeback; vividly, vitally, memorably – my daughter Sarah and I were visibly moved by the experience.~ Dr Kirpal Singh, SMU Associate Professor of Literature

An original and riveting production, uniquely Singaporean, with inspired and uninhibited acting that captures the wayang spirit of the sixties. ~ Alfred Zhu, Writer

A stunning testimony to a remarkable life!~ Rani Moorthy, Actress based in London
